Question

Use the sentence to answer the question.

The competing teams shook hands after the game was over.

Write one to two sentences identifying the participle in this sentence and its function.

Answer 1

Answer:

The participle in this is shook

Explanation:

The teams shook hands this meaning that the game was fair and both teams respect and support each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

The participle is a verb that is used as an adjective, for example, the working woman. It can also be used as a noun, for example, fast running.

In this sentence, the teams are described to be competing. That is the participle. The function of the participle is to provide description and mobility to the subject (teams). It also adds context, for without the participle the action would be void.
